UFC 221: Luke Rockhold Gives Props to Yoel Romero, Following KO Loss

"Rockhold is a very good athlete and an incredible fighter", Romero said after the fight. The fight will take place on the main pay-per-view card for the event in Perth, Australia.

Romero may have misjudged the severity of his injury. Look for Rockhold to secure a submission in the middle to late rounds.

"Typical. Par for the course with Yoel Romero", Rockhold responded, later posting on Twitter: "Should have be doing the salsa in the sauna".

Once again, he finished the fight in the third round, the seventh time he's ended things in the third frame, a tendency "the Soldier of God" puts down to the influence of the Holy Trinity. "We worked very hard in sparring and on the power that Luke has".

Tai Tuivasa on what can happen in the fight: "For me, as long as I'm fit and I feel good and I'm on point, then I'm sweet". Those who have studied the tape on Romero, however, knew what was coming. "There was no worry whatsoever in terms of cardio". And even though a second fight between Whittaker and Romero - less than one year after the original - might feel like a move backward, it's the only next step the UFC should consider.

Rockhold was originally scheduled to challenge for Robert Whittaker's undisputed middleweight title. Round one started with Rockhold throwing a leg kick that Yoel Romero checked, which caused a cut on Luke's leg.

As good as Romero is, it's not fair to reward him with a title shot. A violent knockout victory seems to have a way of making people forgive such transgressions.

Romero dropped his foe with a brutal overhand left, before landing a hellacious uppercut putting Rockhold to sleep. The two fought last July, and Whittaker won the bout via decision.

His finish was his seventh, tied for third in UFC middleweight history behind Anderson Silva and Thiago Santos, each of whom had eight. With a normal camp, Romero expects there will be no issues on the scale. Rockhold soon got back to work, popping out his southpaw jab and the occasional left to the body or head.

If Asker wants to be considered more than division fodder, he needs to get some momentum going.
